Demographic Collapse: Who Inherits the Future?

Written by Michale Barone

George Orwell was on to it almost 80 years ago — the problem of below-replacement level birth rates. In a short book written for the Britain in Pictures series in 1947, written just as Britain was emerging from wartime rigors into an uncharted postwar future, Orwell noted that despite an upward blip in birth rates during the war, “the general curve is downward. The position is not quite so dangerous as it is sometimes said to be, but can only be put right if the curve not only rises sharply but does so within ten or at most twenty years.”… Continue Reading

Rugged Individualism vs. the Rising Tyranny of Big Government

Written by Robert Knight

One of the most chilling scenes in the 1965 epic film “Doctor Zhivago” is when the good doctor joyfully returns to his Moscow home after the communist Russian Revolution in 1917, only to find his stately house occupied by dozens of government-placed squatters.

Two unctuous Communist Party officials lecture him about why this is more equitable, to which Zhivago quickly agrees, given the circumstances. As he and his wife climb the stairs to the bare-bones living space left to them, the squatters stare with undisguised hatred.… Continue Reading

Why the Left Gets a Pass on Political Violence

Written by Robert Knight

We keep being told that both sides of America’s political divide are equally culpable for violent rhetoric and violent acts. It’s a lie.

Virtually all of it comes from the political left. It wasn’t right-wingers who shot President Donald Trump and murdered health care executive Brian Thompson in New York and conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah in cold blood.

It wasn’t Young Republicans who attacked a Turning Point USA event on the University of California, Berkeley, campus last week, beating up a TPUSA staffer.… Continue Reading
